#8258: [ACPI] laptop's brightness buttons broken since hrev42637 ----------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: luroh | Owner: tqh Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Drivers/ACPI | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ----------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by ttcoder): Replying to [comment:4 korli]: > Just a theory... If the buttons work with ACPI disabled, the reason could be that by default the firmware handles brighness events itself. When ACPI is enabled, the firmware would not handle events anymore, thus leading to a "regression" for the user. Just tried -- rebooted, disabled ACPI then proceeded with boot and... it '''works'''! Good hint/intuition, thanks. Could get me off the hook some day, so I don't need windows to setup the display on this laptop (an R61.. Not sure if this would be true also for this ticket's original poster, but here it works... though of course as a side-effet I lose the "battery indicator" in the deskbar). -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8258#comment:7> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
